I'm late to the party, but I got an iPad2 for christmas and bought the full download of this as one of my first purchases... I guess I am not complaining because there is enough with the arcade games here to make it worth the $20 purchase but why oh why did they put all this 2600 garbage on here? There is barely anything worth playing on the 2600 end of things. Why couldn't they at least provide the same games list as the Flashback?

I did have a chance to try the iCade, and man is that thing worth the money. wow! totally off topic here but I can't seem to figure out how I managed to install iMame on my un-jailbroken iPad2. I literally do not remember how I got it on there. I am able to load roms too, it's not jailbroken, I just use the app on my laptop called Disk Aid. On the night I unwrapped my ipad, I was in a feverish state getting all the apps I wanted, searching the app store and elsewhere and the next day I realized I had iMame... but I don't know how I got it on there. I did visit the google source code site that has the deb file. but how did I install it on a non-jailbroken ipad... I'd like to repeat the process on my father in-law's ipad.

Seen the newly announced iCade models? While I like the Jr., I'll most likely get the mobile version for my iPhone.

iMAME showed up in the App Store for a brief period of time back in December before Apple realized what it was and removed it.

Pffft. Left-handed joystick.

I did see the iCade mobile, great product for those with an iPhone. wish they'd make one for android os. [I do think they should offer right and left handed versions, perhaps they will since the product seems to be taking off nicely, and to think it was all due to the overwhelming positive response to someone's photo-shopped dream of the design before it was ever actually designed and sold]

I guess I MUST have nabbed iMame the night they took it down, wow that was lucky. I really don't want to jailbreak this thing but I may do it if they get the new IOS version under total control, I just updated before I read that the latest version is not quite as exploitable, or as easily done I guess.

I can't wait to try the Atari Collection on the iCade Jrfor my iPod!

One silly question: there's no reason it should not work on an iPod Touch 2nd Generation running only iOS 4.2.1 right? I ask because that's what I've got. I do have the Atari Collection that uses iCade and my iOS does have Blue Tooth capability so should I run into any problems using this device? I wouldn't think so.

I ask myself the same question. I have no good reason to upgrade my ipod touch at the moment. The form factor has changed a bit for 3rd and 4th gen. I think a likely reason that it might not work would be some software thingy that needs iOS 4.3 or greater.
